La Ricerca in Materia di Benessere

Ergotron è in prima linea

A Ergotron, i dati basati sulle prove sono all’origine dello sviluppo dei prodotti e delle collaborazioni. Con la crescente intensità nel rapporto tra la tecnologia digitale e le persone, Ergotron si concentra su ciò che questo significa per la salute individuale e su come i nostri prodotti possano essere utili.

Collaborazione Nelle Ricerche in Materia di Benessere

Il nostro catalogo sempre più ampio di prodotti per il montaggio e la mobilità per sistemi informatici, display, TV, tablet e dispositivi mobili, ha consentito a Ergotron di trasformarsi in leader e di innovare in ciascuno di tali mercati, continuando, al tempo stesso, a proporre soluzioni per quasi tutti i settore di nicchia.

In collaborazione con organizzazioni del mondo accademico e di ricerca, Ergotron esamina le categorie di rischio: muscoloscheletrico, psico-sociale, cardiovascolare e metabolico. Gli studi svolti utilizzando Ergotron WorkFit e LearnFit hanno raccolto dati per misurare la differenza che gli interventi a favore della posizione eretta possono apportare sul mal di schiena, il battito cardiaco, l’assunzione/il consumo di calorie, lo zucchero nel sangue e altri indicatori della salute.

È possibile ottenere maggiori informazioni su questo campo di studi alla pagina research.juststand.org.

Leader nella tecnologia del montaggio

Da oltre un trentennio, Ergotron migliora l’ interfaccia umana con i display digitali. La tecnologia brevettata e la nostra tradizione di ricerca sono i fattori trainanti alla base dell'innovazione che proponiamo sui mercati a cui offriamo i nostri servizi.
